Evaluating archers.

Dungeon. The eyes look good, there's no penalty in melee combat, they have a lot of HP, and no major drawbacks were noticed. The downside of Medusas is the small number of shots (4 for unupgraded, 8 for upgraded); petrification isn't a panacea in this case, because even though Medusas don't have a penalty in melee combat, they still fight weaker than other level 4 units.

I agree! Archers are good when they can defend themselves in close combat! That's why Gloom Stalkers are #1 among archers.
